Kik Alternatives (self.Blind)
submitted by BlindMan94
Hi, I wound up getting an iPhone 7 Plus a couple of weeks back, and so far have really been appreciating its accessibility features, most notably Voiceover, which is very well done and has already been useful. One frustration I've had though is Kik, which has small text, and there seems to be no way to change the text size whatsoever, which is mystifying, but hey. Would anyone know of any alternative apps that would allow me to talk to Kik contacts but while also having larger-size text? Not sure if there is, but I thought this would be the best place to ask. Thanks! :)

Have you used Zoom to increase the size of the text with in the Kick App? Enable Zoom in Settings, general, accessibility.

I will try that, thanks!

That's definitely the best answer, yeah. Not quite as seamless, but I don't know of any other way to do it if the app doesn't itself support dynamic type.
